Explain about the mechanism of monsoon with special reference to india
Answers
In long answer-:.
1).The term monsoon has been derived from the Arabic word mausin or from the Malayan word monsin meaning ‘season’.
2).Monsoons are seasonal winds (Rhythmic wind movements)(Periodic Winds) which reverse their direction with the change of season.
3).The monsoon is a double system of seasonal winds – They flow from sea to land during the summer and from land to sea during winter.
4).Some scholars tend to treat the monsoon winds as land and sea breeze on a large scale.
5).Monsoons are peculiar to Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia, parts of Central Western Africa etc..
Monsoons are peculiar to Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia, parts of Central Western Africa etc..They are more pronounced in the Indian Subcontinent compared to any other region.
Monsoons are peculiar to Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia, parts of Central Western Africa etc..They are more pronounced in the Indian Subcontinent compared to any other region.Indian Monsoons are Convection cells on a very large scale.
6).They are periodic or secondary winds which seasonal reversal in wind direction.
They are periodic or secondary winds which seasonal reversal in wind direction.India receives south-west monsoon winds in summer and north-east monsoon winds in winter.
7).South-west monsoons are formed due to intense low pressure system formed over the Tibetan plateau.
8.).North-east monsoons are associated with high pressure cells over Tibetan and Siberian plateaus.
monsoons are associated with high pressure cells over Tibetan and Siberian plateaus.South-west monsoons bring intense rainfall to most of the regions in India and north-east monsoons bring rainfall to mainly south-eastern coast of India (Southern coast of Seemandhra and the coast of Tamil Nadu.).
9).Countries like India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar etc. receive most of the annual rainfall during south-west monsoon season where as South East China, Japan etc., during north-east rainfall season.

Explanation:
During summer season as land gets heated up, the air rises and the low-pressure area is created on the land and on the other hand high-pressure area is created in the Indian Ocean. Air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. The low-pressure land system attracts south-east trade winds but after crossing equator due to Coriolis force, winds turn right towards the low-pressure areas over the Indian subcontinent. These winds start blowing in a south-westerly direction and enter the Indian peninsula as the southwest monsoon. As it reaches India monsoons are divided into two branches namely - Arabian Sea branch and Bay of Bengal branch.
